What's the best way to develop a web-based sideswipe menu?
css, html, javascript, jquery, twitter-bootstrap
Solution
I hate to be that person to just drop a link but there's a very good write up about this very topic here: http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2013/01/15/off-canvas-navigation-for-responsive-website/
It covers a web based menu with animation and it covers best practices for animating the menu smoothly. The article is pretty detailed making it difficult to summarize its content. Hopefully it will help.
Problem
I previously asked about developing an iOS based side-swipe menu. Now that sideswipe menus have become a standard user interface component, they are beginning to transfer over to the mobile web. Medium is one of the first I've seen to successfully pull of this type of menu on the mobile web (pictured below). My question is: what is the most effective way of implementing something like this on the web?
